How can I design my system to reduce threats?This book offers chapters on ICS cyber threats, attacks, metrics, risk, situational awareness, intrusion detection, and security testing, providing an advantageous reference set for current system owners who wish to securely configure and operate their ICSs.

Reviews
"The book, which contains a few color illustrations, includes contributions from many authors with varying backgrounds. ... the editors have produced a consistent book. The chapters include many references to the literature ... . There are very few books in the market on the cyber-security of ICSs ... so this book is a welcome addition. ... it is quite readable even by novices. It can be used for teaching a course on the security of ICSs." (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, April, 2017)
